Introducing Shreya & Sahana Sheth...

Shreya has been attending a ballet class at school and at the end of term, we attended a recital to see her in action. Wonderful chaos which can only be appreciated and enjoyed by the parents of kids who were in the class! Getting a few words of encouragement from Miss Jenn, the ballet teacher A couple of warm up exercises Ready to perform

We made out first trip to Disney while we were in SoCal with my parents (not being a huge Disney fan I have resigned myself to the fact that we will return at some point. Shreya was a little overwhelmed when we first got to the park and only wanted to ride on the carousel. I tried to point out to her that we hadn't paid an exorbitant amount of money to ride a carousel which we could do anytime back in SF. I think the pep talk worked and she was soon enjoying the rides (Nehal even managed to get her onto Splash Mountain). The magic begins  Teacups - definitely a favorite Nehal and Shreya are in the plane at the back Sani spent much of the day in the stroller but was particularly pleased with the purchase of cuddly Pluto

Celebrations at Shreya's school for Halloween included a parade and a performance by her class of some songs. Seeing 20 odd 3 year olds in their costumes would melt the sternest of hearts. Princess Shreya (I tried to encourage the Super girl costume - maybe next year!) All set to perform their songs Class photo - most inventive costume award goes to Mateen (left of the fireman) dressed as bag of money while his parents were dressed as burglars. Post parade party

We spent last thanksgiving with our friends Asad and Mariam. Here are some photos Asad took of Shreya - she was a willing poser!

Sizing up the task at hand This is easy ! Lets hope it continues to be so much fun

Shreya was clearly excited to be at the playground Nathan sets his sights high Shreya tries something a little less challenging And then it was time to kick back and relax on the swings with Aunty Emily

We were really excited to have our nephew Nathan and his parents come and stay with us for a few days. Nathan helping to give Shreya a bath With their daddies
